SUNOCO REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

PHILADELPHIA, May 2, 2007 — Sunoco, Inc. (NYSE: SUN) today reported net income of $175 million ($1.44 per share diluted) for the first quarter of 2007 versus $79 million ($0.59 per share diluted) for the first quarter of 2006. Excluding special items, income was $85 million ($0.70 per share diluted) for the current quarter. There were no special items in the first quarter of 2006.

“While refining margins and operating income were improved versus last year’s comparable period, our results were significantly limited by the major turnaround and expansion work at our Philadelphia refinery,” said John G. Drosdick, Sunoco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This $520 million project reduced first-quarter refinery production by approximately nine million barrels and also contributed to higher average crude oil costs and the sale of low-valued residual fuel inventory. The timing of this downtime and its associated impacts occurred during the part of the quarter when margins in the Northeast were at their highest levels. Also in the Northeast, a loss of steam from a power outage at a third-party supplier resulted in an unplanned shutdown of the Marcus Hook refinery in February that reduced throughput by an additional one million barrels.

“With the recent completion of the Philadelphia turnaround and fluid catalytic cracking unit expansion project,” continued Drosdick, “our Northeast refining system is now returning to normal operations as we enter the summer driving season. In addition to the expansion of the catalytic cracking unit’s capacity from 70 to 85 thousand barrels per day, we expect the project will provide us with the ability to upgrade an additional 15-20 thousand barrels per day of low-value residual fuel oil into higher-value gasoline and distillate products and demonstrate the increased earnings power of these assets.”

Commenting on other 2007 capital projects in Refining and Supply, Drosdick said, “Final tie-in work for the crude unit debottleneck project at our Toledo refinery is scheduled to begin in May with completion anticipated by the end of the quarter. We estimate that the work will result in only a minimal reduction in crude throughput during the quarter. In addition, our Tulsa refinery is currently scheduled to undergo a maintenance turnaround beginning in June, which is expected to reduce second quarter production at the facility by approximately 2.4 million barrels. Following the completion of this work, we have no major turnaround activity scheduled for the remainder of the year, providing the opportunity to capture what we believe will continue to be a constructive market for refined product margins.”

DETAILS OF FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

REFINING AND SUPPLY

Refining and Supply earned $76 million in the first quarter of 2007 versus $73 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in earnings was due to higher realized margins, particularly in the MidContinent, essentially offset by lower production volumes and higher expenses. The lower volumes were mainly the result of work related to the project to expand capacity of a fluid catalytic cracking unit at the Philadelphia refinery as well as a one-week outage at the Tulsa refinery and unscheduled downtime at the Marcus Hook refinery due to a power outage at a third-party steam supplier. The completion of the work at the Philadelphia refinery is expected to reduce April production by approximately two million barrels. The higher expenses were largely the result of costs associated with the turnaround and expansion work and operating costs to produce low-sulfur fuels.

RETAIL MARKETING

Retail Marketing earned $7 million in the first quarter of 2007 versus break-even results in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in earnings was primarily due to higher average retail gasoline and distillate margins. Partially offsetting these positive factors were a $3 million after-tax charge associated with a litigation settlement and a $4 million after-tax decrease in divestment gains attributable to the Retail Portfolio Management program. Monthly gasoline and diesel throughput per company-owned or leased outlet increased approximately eight percent versus the first quarter of 2006.

CHEMICALS

Chemicals earned $9 million in the first quarter of 2007 versus $14 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in earnings was due primarily to lower margins and sales volumes for both phenol and polypropylene, partially offset by lower expenses. Lower volumes resulted in part from feedstock availability issues related to the turnaround work at Sunoco’s Philadelphia refinery and the power outage at a third-party steam supplier for Sunoco’s Marcus Hook refinery during the quarter.

LOGISTICS

Earnings for the Logistics segment were $9 million in the first quarter of 2007 versus $6 million in the first quarter of 2006. The increase was largely due to higher earnings from terminalling operations and from the Partnership’s acquisitions completed in 2006, partially offset by lower crude oil acquisition and marketing results and Sunoco’s reduced ownership in the Partnership subsequent to a public equity offering in the second quarter of 2006.

COKE

The Coke business earned $11 million in the first quarter of 2007 versus $14 million in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in earnings was due primarily to higher costs and lower selling prices at the Jewell coal operations. In the first quarter of 2007, limited operations commenced at a 1.7 million tons-per-year cokemaking facility in Vitória, Brazil, with full production expected in mid-2007. The Coke business is the operator and has a one-percent ownership interest in this joint venture.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

Corporate administrative expenses were $15 million after tax in the first quarter of 2007 versus $16 million in the first quarter of 2006.

Net financing expenses were $12 million after tax in both first-quarter periods. Lower interest income and higher interest expense were offset by higher capitalized interest and lower expenses attributable to the preferential return of third-party investors in Sunoco’s cokemaking operations.

SPECIAL ITEM

During the first quarter of 2007, Sunoco recognized a $90 million after-tax gain related to the prior issuance of limited partnership units of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (NYSE: SXL) to the public. Sunoco currently has a 43 percent interest in Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P., which includes its 2 percent general partnership interest.
